RED HERRING | Concentrating the Sun
SolFocus hopes its solar panels mounted on moveable trackers will soon bring low-cost energy to power plants and commercial rooftops everywhere. Founded in 2005 by retired semiconductor executive Gary Conley, Palo Alto, California-based SolFocus developed solar concentrators to bring solar power down to pennies per kilowatt-hour, making it cheaper than fossil fuels. “It’s basically solving the world’s electricity problems, without subsidies,” says Mr. Conley. “We’re trying to compete with classic energy—not other solar—and we’re doing it on a global basis.”
wonder how long it will take for the UtiliCoes to try adn squash this?
